Holy Paladin Spirit and Judgements of the Pure changes


Reezimus 69 posts	so....how's everyone liking the changes? I like it a LOT. Prior to 4.3 I gemmed straight int regardless of most bonuses. For 4.3 I re-gemmed in accordance to sockets so I have a lot of purple (may have logged in my silly ret os gear dont judge me on that if thats what you see...). Now Im holding to mana like crazy. One thing that I had to get used to was the judging every 60 secs. Constantly flicking my eyes to my JotP buff timer was annoying so I made a power aura (Ill make a seperate post with that when I can copy/paste the code) to track my JotP buff with a timer. How's everyone else's experience with the spirit/JotP changes? Bottom line for me so far, its a buff and I like it. Posted Dec 1, 11 · OP

I use Power Auras as well to track the JotP buff, it's not bad though - it makes it easier for the baddie pallies that didn't remember to judge off CD... Posted Dec 1, 11
Reezimus 69 posts	For two reasons I went back to gemming with the spirit: 1. For new encounters I just wanted to play it safe and ensure I had enough mana to get through the fights and all mistakes made by our lovely DPS, output on normal modes isnt much of a concern. 2. JotP gives +30% spirit regen. This means, as I take it, the buff scales with spirit. Spirit's value is now increased (never over int, of course). Im figuring we'll lose a lot more mana gemming straight int. What do you think? Posted Dec 1, 11 · OP
Reezimus 69 posts	My power aura is simply a small timer i have next to my toon. The icon I have at smallest size available (aka you cant see it) and the timer is slightly enlarged. Posted Dec 1, 11 · OP

I also have a second PowerAura that puts a huge obnoxious judgement icon right in the middle of my screen if I am in combat and JoTP isn't up. It takes a bit to get used to not judging. It also is something where you sometimes have to plan ahead and refresh the buff if you are going to be out of judgement range for awhile instead of waiting for it to fall off. Posted Dec 1, 11
Prøstasis 56 posts	In some ways I hate the judgement change because it takes away that distinction between a good pally and a great one - but meh, whatever, atleast you can spec out of improved judgement... since you can pretty much plan to be in range of the boss before your buff wears off, annnnd most of these fights you'll be within a close range anyways... not like we have a bunch of other fabulous options to put it in... but whatever... I think yes, spirit increased slightly - but my holy pally was having pretty much NO mana issues on HM FL bosses, to the point where I actually stopped judging anyways, and was reforging out of spirit... I still don't think that going for hybrid gems over straight Int is better - because Int just provides so much more than spirit... plus more int plus power torrent proc (or however you want to do it) means better Pleas... and there are a LOT of opportunities on almost every fight for you to Plea...
